Now, in this wonderful, intimate portrait of Her Majesty, Ingrid Seward uses the Queen's speeches as a starting point to provide a revealing insight into the character of the woman who reigned over us since the days when Churchill was prime minister. Starting with her first-ever broadcast, in December 1940, when the teenaged Princess Elizabeth addressed a war-torn nation, right through the annus horribilis, and on into the 21st century, the book highlights the most important moments in her life and how she responded to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Based on in-depth re","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867174908247,"sku":"9781471150982","price":8.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781471150982.jpg?v=1722282039","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-queens-speech-9781471150982","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
